Sold the Volvo yesterday, so decided it would be a shame to put all of the proceeds in the bank, so went out and picked up this lot:
Also picked up a tidy little 106 XR 1.4 last week for the sum of £245. Had some problems with the remote locking / immobiliser / alarm plus needed a service. But sorted all that now, and I'm left with a nice little motor for my sister. TBH I'm actually quite impressed with it - drives spot on, is pretty nippy and seems to only sip fuel. Ideal for her, but I'm sure she'll wreck it! Ah well.
And did some work on our 106 too - new new speedo cable and new speedo drive pinion has resulted in a completely non-flickering speedo. First one I've ever had on a Pug I think! Also noticed the rear trailing arm bearings are getting worse quicker than I expected resulting in some wheel rubbage on the inner arches. So I've bodged it with some 5mm spacers for now, plus put some slightly better dampers on (never know, might help a bit), but need to find some time to sort that in the near future! Otherwise the little red rocket it going great!
Hopefully there'll be another SD1 related update soon!!
